After spending his younger days in and out of “every penitentiary in the state of California,” according to the actor, these days the only trouble the reformed real-life badass gets into is on movie sets. Trejo started out playing gang members and “Inmate #1,” but now that he’s a leading man, his characters haven’t changed all that much. For his part, Trejo enjoys playing the anti-hero, or what he calls “good bad guys,” which are leading men that are only considered heroes because they’re marginally better than the bad guys. “Machete and Guerrero are the two baddest guys I’ve ever played,” Trejo says. Which is exactly what makes them so much fun to watch.
